Haley Sharpe Design of Leicester, UK was selected in June of 2002 as Exhibit Designer. Working directly with the ROM’s Gallery Development Steering Committee, composed of ROM curators and other staff members, Haley Sharpe Design will develop some 250,633 square feet of new and renovated gallery space, in addition to 104,066 square feet of related public spaces within the <strong>Museum</strong>. East Elevation Renaissance ROM, which only a year ago was an idea for a major capital investment, is now a formally approved project, managed by outstanding organizational teams both externally and internally. To bring the international Project West Elevation Team together and create open communications EAST AND WEST ELEVATIONS between all team members, the Renaissance ROM Project Office was created in June of 2002.

Team members, City of Toronto officials and community and business groups assemble to discuss, evaluate and manage this striking revitalization of the ROM. We have already seen the crystalline galleries refined, internal spaces re-thought, surrounding landscapes revisited, and gallery space visualized. Success for any project requires a remarkable plan and even more remarkable team members— the ROM is fortunate enough Above and page 8, views of the first design concept of The Crystal. to have both for the Renaissance ROM project. The Renaissance ROM Campaign will be the impetus for dramatic renewal at the ROM, through restoration of its original architecture, construction of a new signature building and creation of much-needed new exhibits and galleries for the ROM’s foremost collections, including some important collections with no permanent gallery at present—such as Textiles and Costumes, Japan, Africa and others. It will permanently alter the ROM’s economic base, providing a sufficient annual market income to sustain excellence across the board and reduce reliance on public funds for operations. The future of the <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> depends on its ability to grow, innovate and maintain the highest international standards of excellence in collections, research, exhibition and education. Renaissance ROM is embracing an ambitious future—one that will create new and exciting opportunities—a crystal clear approach for the future.

Tree of Life with Birds and Nest, by Ram Singh Ooveti (2002.59.2)—Exquisite and intricate patterns characterize art from the Gond region of Madhya Pradesh in India.
